Another Monster Girl Hentai Game: Violated Hero

A while back I mentioned another Monster Girl game. I think. It might have been one of those blog posts I was going to make and never got around to for one reason or another. I know I was intending to review at some point and got side-tracked. Might as well slip it in now.

Violated Hero – I wanted to chivalrously save the world is a hentai game with a similar premise to Monster Girl Quest in that it features a well-meaning but pathetically inept hero thrown to the vagina dentata (not literally, there’s no vore in this game) of various nymphomaniac monster girls. The hapless (lucky) hero also has to contend with various “allies” he picks up along the way as all of them will attempt to force him to have sex with them.

There’s no real story. It’s a straightforward dungeon bash with the evil (hot, sexy) dragon girl at the bottom of the dungeon. The dungeon layout is reminiscent of Dungeon Master (or Lightning Warrior Raidy if you aren’t quite as ancient as me) but without all the sneaky switch puzzles and hidden walls. Encounters are random and are with conventional (i.e. non-sexy, non-girl) monsters displayed as silhouettes. Come across a dead end and it will trigger a special encounter where you’ll either have to fight one of the boss monster girls, or pick up an ally who’ll follow you on a sub-quest for a while before getting frisky and attempting to jump your bones.

This is the bad ending?

The mechanics are extremely rudimentary—hit one of three different attack buttons until monsters fall over, rinse and repeat until character is strong enough to take down harder monsters.

It’s not really fair to compare this with Monster Girl Quest as Toro Toro Resistance is obviously a perfectionist loony prepared to go way beyond what anyone would expect from a hentai game (10 girls? Ha, I have 300!). On the plus side, the hentai scenes in Violated Hero are gorgeously drawn and all fully voiced. Unfortunately, the rest of the artwork is an odd mix, with the monster girls displayed as 8-bit parody sprites in the actual battles.

Best described as a collection of really good hentai scenes in search of a game. Still, it’s good to see more developers catering to this niche. It can be bought from here and an English translation can be found here, although I can’t vouch for its veracity as I played the game with AGTH + Translation Aggregator.
